Looky, Look, Look

If you are the observant type...or you just plain read my "under construction" post, you might have notices a change in the old bloggity blog look here at Living and Loving Every Minute of it.

Back in the beginning of January, when I was in the depths of my "woe is me...my blog sucks....my photography is boring...." phase, a good blogging buddy came to my rescue.  The Nap Warden read my lowly whines, and offered a simple solution that might cheer me up. How about a bloggy re-design? She is a great designer, and illustrator (and blogger, for that matter), and she offered to help me out with a design that would showcase my photography.  What a lady!  Her simple offer really did lift my heart, and give me a sense of bloggity purpose.  

My new look offers me the ability to change my header, if I feel the need (still loving my sticker girl, though), and gives me more room to show off my photos.  There is a navigation bar at the top which houses some of my old sidebar stuff, and the rest is found at the bottom.  Like anything new, it might take me a bit to get used to, and I might find some things that I need changed, but for now....I'm just so pleased with the results.  

Thank you Nap Warden!  Everyone else....do me a favor and check out her work.  She rocks!  I'm definitely NOT in a funk anymore.  I have my photo mojo back......I've Pumped Up This Party, and I have a new look.  Who could ask for more?

Well....maybe I could.  I'd like some peace and quiet when I'm trying to capture a lovely frosty scene on my deck in the morning.  Instead......not 7 seconds after I shut the door, I hear a noise....and turn to see this:

Miss Peanut Butter toast face can hardly stand that mama is outside without her. It is coooooooold out there....but she just has to be part of this moment.  I turn back to my frosty leaf, try to concentrate on my camera, and hear a squeaky rubbing sound.  Yup....she is rubbing her slobber off the window now.

I diligently try to ignore her antics, and get back to my photos, but seriously........who can resist THIS:

She wins....I go back in, help her get her boots on, so she can join me. Why did I even try. 
We all know if it's worth doing....it's worth doing TOGETHER!

Very nice!!!! Love the new look! I personally think photography based blogs look best with one column. The photos just pop more with less distraction on the sidebars.

This is my first time here and I am in love with your blog and photography. You are my kind of woman. I just had a blog redo and still fixing the kinks but I love my room too!

Your new look is gorgeous, Corey! And it's much easier to read on the black background too. I love how large the photos are now - so easy to see clearly! :)
